Yu Yong was shocked and subconsciously wanted to kneel down again.
Halfway through her kneeling, Shao Qingyuan suddenly held her arm. "Stand up straight."
"Aye, aye, sir."
The Yu Family was a little nervous. They didn’t know why the new master was suddenly standing beside Yu Yong. Was he dissatisfied with them?
Gu Yundong was also confused and asked, "What’s wrong with him?"𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"You smell like medicine." Shao Qingyuan was especially sensitive to medicinal herbs. He turned to look at Yu Yong. "What kind of work were you in charge of in the royal prince’s mansion previously?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, when I was in the Royal Prince’s Mansion, I was an assistant to the Royal Prince’s doctor." Yu Yong said, "Later on, Doctor Tao was old and went home to retire, so His Highness hired a Doctor Zhang. However, Doctor Zhang also left a few days ago, so I helped dry the medicinal herbs in the Duke’s Mansion these few days." Then, he waited for the new Royal Prince’s doctor to come.
Gu Yundong was stunned. She looked up and exchanged glances with Shao Qingyuan.
Shao Qingyuan nodded and didn’t say anything else. He returned to the seat in front and sat down. After taking a sip of tea, he said, "Tell me first what you do in the Royal Prince’s Mansion. One by one."
He pointed at the Yu Family.
Yu Yong had already said it just now, so the Yu Family’s parents started.
The Yu Family’s parents were only doing odd jobs at the Yu Family’s house. One of them had been serving the horses in the stable, so she was quite good at taking care of the horses. The other was taking care of the flowers and trees in the garden and was also in charge of pulling weeds.
As for Yu Pan’er, she was working in the kitchen. She was diligent and did not speak much. She was as gentle as Yu Yong.
Then, it was the Wan family. Father Wan had not been working in the residence. He was running errands with the shopkeeper of the Duke’s Mansion. Although he was running errands, he had seen a lot of the world and had a clear gaze.
Mother Wan was in charge of needlework in the residence. Putting everything else aside, her embroidery skills were really good.
Wan Xiaoshuang was responsible for entertaining the guests in the mansion. If a guest like Yuan Sinuo stayed in the mansion and ate in the guest room, Wan Xiaoshuang would be in charge.
The most surprising thing was the two brothers, Wan Xiaogao, and Wan Xiaozhuang. From what they said, they did not seem to have a definite job previously.
Ever since they were seven or eight years old, the two of them had been arranged to be guards in the residence. They had been practicing martial arts with the guards for several years.
There was no specific work. Usually, they would only help the guards run errands or move things.
Gu Yundong could not help but widen her eyes. "So, you two have good bones and were trained as reserve guards? You’re very skilled?"
Wan Xiaogao and his brother didn’t understand what reserved guard meant, but they understood the last sentence.
The twins looked at each other. Only then did Wan Xiaozhuang scratch his head and answer honestly, "Actually, it’s not very good. We can’t beat the guards in the mansion."
How bad would it be if it wasn’t good?
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other. The latter looked at Shao Wen.
Sure enough, this kid’s eyes were bright with a hint of eagerness.
Gu Yundong could not help but lean close to Shao Qingyuan’s ear and whisper, "How did you nurture him? How did you turn him into a warlike person? He’s too violent."
Shao Qingyuan was speechless. Look at Tong Shuitao beside you.
However, he still had a basic desire to survive, so he said with certainty, "He was born like this."
Then, he said to Shao Wen, "Why don’t you go and spar with them?"
